3. Sweden
Home of the Vikings, Sweden is one of the coolest European countries. Situated in the cold northern area of the continent, Sweden has nearly 10 million citizens nowadays. The country has been a member of the European Union since 1995 and it is thriving as a nation.
If you want to become a citizen of Sweden, you must be at least 18 years old, have no criminal record, permanent right of residence and have lived within the country for at least five consecutive years. The number goes down to two years if you’re already a citizen of another Nordic country.
